This family of user-space probe points is used to probe the operation of
the SystemTap translator (<span class="command"><strong>stap</strong></span>) and run command
(<span class="command"><strong>staprun</strong></span>).
The tapset includes probes to watch the various phases of SystemTap
and SystemTap's management of instrumentation cache.
It contains the following probe points:
